I am pleased to announce that Fabadashery has its 100th Follower! Welcome Tina, and ohh look, here comes the 101st, Jennifer. Since 90% of this blog is about the progress of the Nearly Insane (Salinda Rupp ) Quilt, as a treat for all the Followers, we get to have a Nearly Insane Quilt update.

| Nearly Insane Quilt - December 2013 Update |
I don't have a design wall (I don't think the EPP blocks would stick anyway ..), so I use a design floor. I had to stand on the table, lean at an awkward angle, and hope for the best when taking the picture. When I do the updates, I don't place them in their final spot, it is a bit of a free for all. However, this time I have laid it out showing its final width, which is about 7 blocks across. Do you notice anything different since last time? A few weeks ago I changed Block 30, as I felt it was not fitting in. I think it is looking better this time around.

| Electric Quilt - Nearly Insane Quilt, December 2013 |
This is how the Electric Quilt design is looking at the moment, and as always, it is updated on the sidebar regularly. It still looks like there a lots of gaps to fill, but according to my sums, we should be 3/4 of the way through in the next few weeks - Celtic Solstice allowing!
Amazing.
